Best bet would be a used premium business laptop. Look at getting a ThinkPad or a used HP 830 or 835 G8 (or later G) laptop. These will serve you well throughout the course and beyond.
HP 840 G7: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326362441569
HP 830 G8 (VERY good specs for price, but perhaps a little overkill) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/336023281791
Good spec HP 830 G8: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226945111011

All below £500
